Our Twitter analysis throws up more reasons to sell than buy the stock, because it has historically underperformed on nearly every financial or fundamental parameter based on which companies are normally evaluated. We have analyzed twitter on various parameters like Twitter revenue growth, profits, and valuation based on PE (See: Twitter PE ratio chart), PS ratios, Twitter's assets and many more. Twitter stock analysis compares it with fast growing Internet industry peers, but still finds it to be expensive and risky buy right now.

Watch Twitter, Inc. (TWTR) Stock @ current levels. The company registered nearly two-fold increase in revenue on its financial results and above analysts' consensus earnings estimates. Check this out: http://finance.crwe-pr.com/2015/02/07/st...

Jim Cramer says Twitter is no longer a good short. Stops short of calling it a buy
We quote "No, don't buy them for takeovers. The valuations are still too high. But at this pace, that won't be for long -- and you don't want to be caught shorting a company that could turn out to be valuable to a bigger company that wants to own a growing space."

We disagree, it is overvalued. We remain bearish.

Improved Monetization can't compensate for lackluster user growth and engagement. Not for long! Long term risks overshadowed a solid Q1. Result? Stock tanked 10% post earnings.

Not only is it a simple architecture, but it continues to be used globally on a wide scale. It needs little in the way of alteration. Moreover, persons in any language can learn it easily and in the 3rd world this is King.

Just because its easy to use does not justify its valuation or current price! People often confuse what they like with whether its a value stock..

Twitter is a great buy, it is still a simple architecture that continues to work time after time, low maintenance even in the face of many more visual competitors and makes it simple enough for anyone to use.

At a P/S of 45x Sales and With profits nowhere in the picture, Even growth at 100% for the next five years is nearly priced in at the current prices.

Twitter has been a momentum stock as can be seen from Twitter stock price history, driven more by market sentiments and expectations of future growth and buyouts, rather than financial strength. Our Twitter share analysis indicates a very risky proposition with very high price to sales ratio and non-existent price to earnings ratio, as Twitter is yet to report any net profits. Our stock analysts find twitter stock to be a very risky proposition.
